Materials
- 30g or more of cannabis shake and stalks (strain or blend of choosing). If dried whole leaf, then blend.
- Any kief you have (non-essential), also bud material can be added if you want.
- .5Litres of high alcohol food-grade liquor/spirit (i.e. rum or vodka) per 30-60g of stalks
- a glass bottle (atleast equal to the amount of alcohol you use, if there is space it is better as you can add over time)
- freezer
- straining device (cheesecloth or a coffee/cocktail)
- grinder (optional)
- cup/container that fits the entire volume of liquid in (1L-2L).
Pre-method notes
The ratios above are a rough guide. However, the more goodies you add the stronger the drink will be (bear in mind the alcohol will have a saturation point, where is cannot dissolve anymore cannabinoids). Some people dislike the taste of the flavour of the end product and it's a stronger flavour the higher cannabinoid %.
Whole buds can be used. But with every cola-bud there is a huge stalk!
N.B. Most cannabis by-products can be used with stalks such as decarbed buds or vapourisor leftovers (NOT combusted material). Leaves also make a nice addition. Essentially you want weed in all form unless the cannabinoids have already been extracted (burned).
If the decarboxylation method is used as a pre-treatment for the cannabis material this greatly enhances the potency. Also, follow the steps with patients and dont rush the infusion process.
Method
--The following steps are OPTIONAL; decarboxylation of the cannabis. (Requiring; baking sheet/partchment/paper, baking tray, oven);
#Pre-heat oven to 150degrees celcius. Place baking partchment on baking tray.
#Add ground cannabis material evenly onto baking partchment.
#Leave for 35-45minutes. Do NOT burn it and it is imperative to keep the temperature at well below 120degrees celcius.
#Remove and cool.
--Alcohol infusion;
- Add ground cannabis material, stalks can be left whole.
- Add the vodka into the bottle (make sure it doesnt leak!), add cannabis material. Shake thouroghly.
- Place in the freezer with the veg [infusion process]
- Check the bottle after two days, it should be frozen solid. Leave it somewhere cool and dark until it's room temperature.
- When completely thawed, add to the freezer.
- From then onwards, you'll want to thaw the bottle everytime you add stalk/plant material (in a cool dark place) or you should thaw-refreeze atleast once a week. Then add back to the freezer.
- Usually, I add my stalks and leftover kief once a week, but keep this up continually and you'll end up with super strength!
- Freeze for a minimum of 2months.
- When the liquid in the bottle is dark green-purple it is ready; defrost a final time.
- Pour and strain all the liquid into the cup/container. Washout the bottle (to remove any sediment). Pour back into the glass bottle.

Consumption
Consumption can be done a variety of ways;
- The filtered drink is similar to a flavoured liquor/spirit. One can drink straight over ice, or as shots.
- Alternatively, you can add 50ml of your green dragon over ice, add 150ml of lemonade/cola/soda water; garnish with fresh mint and fresh cucumber slices, add sugar or honey to sweeten to taste. Always serve cold.
- You can also use this to cook! Add to a marinade and flavour some meat (flavour only).
*If correctly infused and consumed, the onset is ~40 - 75 minutes and lasts ~4 - 7 hours.
Note: There is no real method of potency testing. So go slowly while enjoying and notify those who drink of the active ingredients. ALWAYS label psychoactive material, so stick a label on it or write on it using a permenant marker.
Also note that cannabinoids heighten the effects of alcohol.
